  • Really enjoyed this video,

    Like the other question previously posted, I'm really looking forward to the next video in the series. Looked all over YouTube and many others but not the next video for this series.

    Please let us know,

    Thanks

  • Hey there! I have an odd question for you. We have an old camping bronco with a roof rack. Can we safely mount a small solar panel and marine battery? The girlfriend would like heat while we are out camping...have to make her happy. Figured we could power a small space heater with the system, and have it charge back up during the day. Perhaps also power some of our axillary lighting at night, instead of running off the trucks primary battery. Thanks for any input and I love you shows!

  • not in order where is part 2, and right tool for right job, you can find torc drivers @ harbor freight for $3.99,and mags to pickup 30 to 50 lbs for the same price if no store near you website will ship to you.check it out!

  • I can't access your channel and any other channel for that matter even my own, are you having the same problem today?

  • He is talking about the american 120V (- 60Hz I think?).

    Because in Europe its 220V - 50 Hz (1 phase each), and they changed that to 230V - 50 Hz.

    3-lined they changed it from 360 V to 400 V. (3-phase)

  • Am sorry but am not going to DC ! no way

  • variation in voltage in your outlet at home doesnt come from variation in usage in your home,. otherwise a very nice video.

  • I know if you pack the sides of a fridgerator with more insulation it works better and runs less electricity.

    Because it becomes more efficiant at insulating against heat transfer.

  • I know you can build coils to recieve the power from high power lines and get electricity for free, but it is illegal. Because your technically stealing power. But the power companies have no problem rapping the nation. All you need is a big coil and a transformer.

  • It can recieve from any live ac wire if close enough. It becomes less current than the lines/wire. Much less, I have tested this on a small scale. I'm not sure if it is really stealing the power... Maybe it is, but I always thought it worked on the magnetism generated from the wires.. If so, it would only be recieving what is already generated and travels in the air.

  • I think some states have outlawed this.

    You would nd to be close to those really huge powerlines. Those are believed to cause cancer.

    Why can't you just make a reciever to pick the extra electrons that permeate all electrical activity. Like in your home. Or is that possible?

  • It would have to be one heck of a reciever and I don't think it's feasible, not impossible. It would be like, trying to make equivalent capacity a car battery with capacitors. Not Cheap stuff.

  • Ever heard of a multispectral nanoantenna. I think those are designed to pick up very faint electrical signals.

    Technology is never cheap at frist.

  • it will not get cheap any time soon, not that kinda stuff.

  • It took 50yrs to go from a computer the size of of building to the laptop. But we shouldn't stop innovation.

  • Well, In a money society there are usually reasons to stop innovations. If the public cannot afford it because the materials to make the device are highly expensive, it will not hold up strong in the markets. Because of the times we live in, It puts a blanket on a lot of things.. People are too busy taking care of their current expenses for the most part. To invest in alternative technology's just doesn't meet most budgets... Sometime I think a new incentive is needed, one that puts life first.

  • Well let's pitch it to T. Boon Pickens and tell him that it will make him a few billion.

  • I am pitching towards a different technology.The guys I deal with work with electricity and fridges all the time. They are not very optomistic like he says in the vid (relating to hydro companies) because it does require lots of electricity. The nice thing about what I support is it's small and there is no limit to how many of them you can connect in series/parallel. I know I would rather have an alternative myself to immensly large coils or 200km plates.Casimir effect. I would look at cost also

  • cool vids, THANKS!!! similar interests in houston. We have 4 harbor freight amorphus. 2 are hooked up, 2 to go. really liked the table saw propeller. cool.

    thanks!

  • Hmm i smiled...extra 5 volts FTW xD

    Dan pretty much explained it, and i will add one further example:

    In Europe we dont use a 110, not a 125/240, we use 230/400.

    Wich means.....that most appliances ranging from 100-1000W can all have the same thin power cords

  • dude the lines in my house are 125VAC so... 120VAC is weird lol

    EXTRA 5 VOLTS FTW!

  • For those wondering with the differences in phases, its how frequent the electrical potential (voltage) shifts from polar opposites. higher phases tend to be more efficient because the voltage difference between the phases will decrease. Here's some math that deals with it -single phase: 120*cos(θ) 120 is the voltage cos is the cosine (X value, a unit of time) of the voltage θ=theta (electrical degrees) -three phase 120*cos(θ) 120*cos[(θ+1*120)] 120*cos[(θ+2*120)] 360/3=120
  • Right, but remember that the definition of "PHASE"

    still means 120V(US) Each, which is not so important.. it's the fact that each "PHASE" travels at a different frequency like--> 60HZ-->50HZ-->

    That way you can put them together and power 240V Appliances

    Because if they were the same it'd be like taking two extension cords and putting them together.. you still will have only 120V

    Unless the 2nd receptical just happened to have been wired from the opposite power rail at the main

    UTAH (*XY'

  • It is not the voltage that allows the power lines to be much thinner. It is actually the current that controls the size of the conductor required.

    Through the miracle of transformers a 200 amp service at 240 volts is only 2.4 amps at 20000 volts. When a transformer steps down the voltage, it steps up the current.

    This is simplistic and only reflects one house, but illustrates the concept well enough, I think.

    Just remember: The higher the current the larger gauge the wire needs to be.

  • Thanks for explaining the 110 to 120+ increase in common residential voltages over the years. I've seen 117 volts on some older appliances/radios, etc. Here in Atlanta, I get about 121/122 volts regularly in December, less than that during July/August.

    Many thanks for your efforts on these subjects.

    Best wishes for the Holidays!

  • is there a part 2?

  • I am a little confused, you said those lines in your house are 120 ac. I thought all houses have 220 service. At least that is what my friend who watched this with me said. Any help?

  • Hi,

    Yes, it is 220 service (actually 240 volt service). I said "those lines" (plural). While the bundle of wires in most houses equates to 240 V. I was referring to each individual line/wire (120 + 120) so those line(s) indeed are 120 v each alternating current) That line (singular) is 240v. I stated it this way because we actually have an additional wire. Our house/office was once used to repair aircraft and the machinery required large powerful "Three Phase" motors. So our service is 3 phase.

  • It is 120 with respect to ground (zero) one line above, the other below, 120+120 = 240

  • Hi there, Is the second part of this video available yet?

    Your videos are great by the way, thanks for all the info.

  • Thank you for the compliment and yes, part two is in the works, I have gotten a bit sidetracked with the other videos as we have had unusually perfect cloud free days. I will try to edit it within the next few weeks. Thank you for watching.

  • Great, thanks.

  • it's also dependend on where you live, where i live in denmark we have 240v AC in our sockets.

  • yeah he really should've said that hes only talking about us (american) outlets which are 120v 60hz

  • Volts are volts, amps is the true output of power.

  • Sort of kind of. (10 amps 12v) is 1/3rd the output power of (3 amps 120v) in terms of usable energy or watts... so if watts are your true output of power, then volts matter.

  • Comment removed

  • Electricity is a flow of electrons. That's it!

    Voltage is the pressure that drives a current through a conductor. That current depends on the driving voltage and also the resistance of the path. Dc this. Ac more complicated

    AC converted to dc - easy- dc to ac much harder. Ac can be transformed up or down with transformers easily and is much more versatile. High voltage ac is used to 'transport' a lot of power as the current can be kept small so smaller cables can be used. Power=VxA ( dc)

  • Actually an electric charge is both protons and electrons. But in metal objects that are conductive only the electrons can "Transfer" forward through the "Electron Sea". Since copper wire is nothing more than a really long Electron Sea, you are correct in stating that our electricity is electrons.

  • Pardon my nit-picking:

    Electricity is not a source of power, it is a means of conveying power.

  • Not a problem. I tried to word this as carefully as possible because there are a lot of things that can be taken the wrong way like "flow of current" etc. I knew this when taking on the challenge of this video. While "most widely used source of power" was intended as a generic reference, you are correct. Thank you for the comment...

  • Wow great videos!!! Looks like you have put into practice some of the ideas ive only pondered, like the fresnel lens to power a steam or sterling cycle engine. Ive also considered using the same means to perhaps heat some kind of liquid medium to very high temps to be used as heat batteries with those engines, this way you can use the days heat to power the devises at night.I would also like to see this used in the production of hydrogen from water electrolysis that may be used in place of petro

  • What about home neyod AC generators. If they are better and can make 1000watts why is DC better????

  • Neodymium magnets are very strong but as for the DIY generators you see everywhere, they are of little use in my opinion. AC current cannot be stored in a battery like DC current so it must be used on demand. With the exception of incandescent light bulbs, any AC item in your house needs steady 110-130 volt 50-60HZ current or it will get trashed in a hurry. To use the neodymium AC generators requires an exact spin rate from a windmill etc. DC current can be random and stored then inverted to AC.

  • Pretty smart there Green Power guy. Thank you for posting some realistic information. I get asked all the time about home built gennys and well, I am eager to see part 2.
